3 Reasons Why Business Needs VDC Backup

The development of digital technology has indeed opened many opportunities for the industry. Ranging from education, lifestyle, healthcare, and other business is now digital as technology solutions arise. Therefore, it is not a surprise anymore to see many businesses automate and scale up their IT capacity to be agile to compete in this era. One of them even utilizing Virtual Data Center (VDC) for that need.

As it is stated in the article before, the role of VDC can replace the need for business to own and operate their own data center. Rather than relying on physical servers to protect business systems and applications, now you can have virtual servers in a private, public, or hybrid cloud environment.

However, using VDC only is not enough for business to manage its IT infrastructure. A data protection strategy like VDC Backup is also needed to secure its system and applications that run virtually. Thus, business can securely store their systems and applications in their VDC.

Then, is there any reason why business needs VDC backup to strengthen its system? Read them below here:

1. Data Loss Can Cost Serious Money

Having a regular backups are an insurance policy for business. So much of the modern business supported by computer networks, a loss of your network data can have a crippling financial effect on business.

Ponemon Institute found that a major IT leaders have experienced that incidents led to data loss. With the global average cost that was a staggering $3.6 million, the enterprises approximately had lost $141 per data record.

Even small security breaches impacting a small number of files, it can still have a major impact. A report from Verizon found that small breaches, which involves the loss of fewer than 100 files, can cost business between $18,120 and $35,70. Rather than business throw that money at a preventable problem regularly, then it’s time to implement an effective Backup strategy like VDC Backup.

2. Ransomware

Besides natural disasters, business also needs to prepare for cyberattacks. As digital technology evolves, many challenges like cyber-threat might come and lead business to loss.

According to The Hacker News, new ransomware strains called NotPetya, Wormable DarkRadiation, REvil Ransomware, and so on are found and targets Linux OS and Docker Container. If this ransomware strikes your business, you must be careful as those will encrypt the business files/directories in the OS.

However, enterprise shouldn’t be worried about this. As long as it has VDC Backup for the solution of a ransomware attack, business will minimize the potential of data loss anytime it wants. Furthermore, VDC Backup like in Zettagrid Indonesia also offers business self-service backup and recovery options. Thus, business will experience the ease of a secure, native integration in the VMware vCloud Director.

3. Regulatory Compliance

Many companies are constantly challenged in meeting policy and regulations for data storage, digital transactions management, and disaster recovery. Regulations tend to be industry-specific and call for the confidentially, portability, and accessibility of information.

Data Backup and business continuity policies must be executed to achieve data compliance. With VDC Backup like in Zettagrid Indonesia, business can leverage its data protection and disaster recovery for regulatory compliance and provide consistent business value and customer satisfaction.

Then, what is the right backup strategy?

  • Cloud Backups: This could be an essential part of a smart backup strategy. By implementing Cloud Backup like VDC Backup, it will ensure that if your business suffers a natural disaster, you are able to restore your data off-site.
  • Encryption of Data In-Transit: Before being Backed up, the data should be encrypted when in transit. If business passed this step, hackers can snoop on data. That’s why, a smart encryption plan is key to overall data protection across your network.
  • The 3-2-1 Strategy: The 3-2-1 strategy for backups can be effective to build data protection strategy. It involves three backups located in two locations, such as on-premise and cloud storage locations. Finally, you should produce these backups at least once a day for maximum protection.
  • 24/7 Support: When your network goes down or you suffer data loss, you want a partner that can quickly restore your system from a backup no matter what day or time it is. A 24/7 support team like at Zettagrid Indonesia, will help you to recover the data back. Therefore, enterprise does not have to be panic once it happened.
  • Testing Backups: It’s important you work with a provider that tests the integrity of backups, considering a backup report can let you know if any files failed to transfer or if any corruptions occurred. Therefore, testing your backup solution regularly is important to achieve the effective recovery.

Why Business Needs Modern Data Protection?

The sudden transformation to remote work of the customer experience in 2020 created a growing volume and type of data for organizations. By this case, many business then turned to the cloud to scale up data capacity and agility. Although the cloud had helped enterprises to manage their data flexibly, backup solutions were often not upgraded in parallel by business.

Despite its critical importance, data backup has been one area where business often underestimates it. This tactic can backfire, leaving organizations vulnerable to failures, cybersecurity breaches, also rising data storage and maintenance cost. Therefore, today’s modern data protection like backup strategy is needed to prevent business from the risk of data loss.

Then, what can modern data protection deliver to business?

1. Modern data protection Provide Better Security

Data storage costs are spiraling upwards as well, whether on-premises or related to unplanned cloud capacity growth. While the amount of data generated in 2020 was exceptional, the expansion of data generation has been ongoing for years and is not likely to abate. Systems may not have been built to withstand rapid increases in data or to handle information on the cloud, in muti- or hybrid-cloud, and across different platforms and even formats. Therefore, modern data protection needs to be built by enterprise.

Within the realm of data protection, advanced solutions provide better security, value, and the ability to grow and evolve with an organization. In more sophisticated scenarios, modern backup solutions can even help organizations reach into and leverage stored data to augment the growing tools that require vast amounts of information.

2. Modern data protection takes resiliency to the next level

While all data needs to be secure, some needs to be more secure: market performance trends used by an investment firm, for example, may not have the same security demands as a client’s account information. Data is also accessed at different times and frequencies. Therefore, modern data protection like Backup or Disaster Recovery is needed to help ensure that the right protection and access are optimally executed from the start.

Modern data protection can also learn how security needs evolve over time, based on changes in, such as usage, policies, or regulation. Imagine the benefits that such a system would have brought to an organization implementing GDPR compliance or ensuring secure, effective data integration as part of an acquisition.

Not only that but modern data protection can also track, identify, record, and analyze issues to suggest event resolution strategies. When combined with real-time monitoring, it can accelerate response time and reduces outages and related downtime.

3. Automate IT environment for update and patch testing

Business should think beyond their data stores as simply a place to run to if and when disaster strikes. Rather than a cellar that contains copies of missing or corrupt information, comprehensive backup stores can be the ingredients of an entirely separate “test kitchen” for DevOps and DevTest teams.

Data backup can automate the environment requirement for update and patch testing and troubleshooting. It can deliver a protected production space where new apps can be run in a sandbox-type scenario. Not only that, but this modern data protection can also be a near-real-time resource for advanced analytics, reducing the need for multiple-data replication across the company.

Manfaat VDC yang High Availability

VDC yang High AvailabilityManfaat VDC yang High Availability

Saat Anda tengah bekerja, data dan sistem tentu menjadi penunjang utama bagi keberhasilan pekerjaan dan organisasi Anda. Namun, apakah pernah terjadi kepada Anda: saat data dan sistem tengah digunakan untuk keperluan bekerja, perusahaan justru mengalami kendala mati listrik, server ataupun jaringan?

Data-data yang Anda kerjakan mungkin masih bisa terselamatkan jika Data Center anda sudah menerapkan High Availability. Namun, berapakah investasi untuk membuat High Availability pada Data Center? Tentunya akan sangat mahal.

Data Center harus High Availability

Membangun on-premise Data Center dengan memperhatikan High Availability di sisi power supply, jaringan, dan sistem didalamnya tentu sudah menjadi keharusan untuk operasional yang baik dan membutuhkan budget IT yang besar. Misalkan, dibutuhkan budget sebesar N untuk membuat Data Center, maka dengan hitungan kasar setidaknya kita butuh 2N untuk membuat Data Center yang High Availability.

Solusi Virtual Data Center

Mengelola Data Center fisik dengan menambah konsep High Availability tentu akan sangat merepotkan dari sisi kebutuhan sumber daya dan biaya. Anggaran organisasi tentu akan menjadi masalah jika hanya berkutat pada kendala teknis yang sama. Untuk itu, solusi pun diperlukan demi mengatasi hal tersebut. Seperti salah satunya dengan menggunakan Virtual Data Center (VDC).

Menurut hostnic.id, VDC merupakan sebuah teknologi komputasi berbasis cloud yang digunakan untuk menyimpan data secara aman dan dapat dibuat lebih dari satu Virtual Machine (VM). Dari segi infrastruktur, VDC sudah menerapkan High Availability. Dengan konsep ini, organisasi dapat merasakan tiga manfaat utama yang bisa diberikan VDC. Manfaat tersebut di antaranya:

1. Memitigasi Risiko Downtime

Dipercaya atau tidak, server organisasi yang mengalami risiko downtime bisa berpengaruh terhadap reputasi bisnis di mata pelanggan. Hal ini dapat terjadi mengingat di masa kini pelanggan lebih banyak bergantung kepada sistem online seperti aplikasi pelanggan maupun layanan website. Jika server mengalami downtime, kedua sistem tersebut pun tentu akan ikut mengalami kendala yang sama.

Untuk itu, VDC yang High Availability hadir untuk mengatasi hal tersebut. Dengan menggunakan layanan VDC, organisasi bisa meminimalisir terjadinya risiko downtime pada server. Sehingga, produktivitas bisnis dan kepercayaan pelanggan bisa tetap terjaga.

2. Menjaga Anggaran Organisasi

Saat memutuskan untuk beralih ke VDC yang High Availability, pembiayaan CapEx pun akan bergeser dengan investasi OpEx yang lebih dinamis. Hal ini tentu menjadi sebuah keuntungan bagi pengusaha, mengingat akses ke lingkungan infrastruktur tidak lagi memerlukan biaya pembelian atau pemeliharaan perangkat keras.

Selain itu, mengadopsi VDC juga sama dengan memanfaatkan cloud economics. Ini dapat diartikan perusahaan dari sektor manapun bisa menurunkan angka anggaran IT dan mengalokasikan modalnya untuk kepentingan bisnis yang lain.

3. Meningkatkan Skalabilitas

VDC menawarkan skalabilitas yang dapat dirasakan oleh organisasi. Dengan demikian perusahaan dapat lebih fleksibel dalam memenuhi kebutuhan bisnisnya. Misalnya, bisnis organisasi Anda saat ini tengah berkembang dan membutuhkan sistem IT yang sesuai dengan peningkatan kebutuhan bisnis. Lingkungan Virtual Data Center bisa mengatasi hal tersebut dengan menyesuaikan kapasitas penyimpanan sesuai kebutuhan organisasi.

Assisting Organisations In Achieving Digital Transformation In 2020

Assisting organisations in achieving digital transformation in 2020

Despite the overall market conditions and the impact of a highly disrupted 2020, spending on edge computing, as a solution that will help organisations to solve many of the operational challenges that they are currently facing, is tipped to explode. GlobalData research anticipates a 22.7 per cent CAGR on global sales of edge computing infrastructure and services through to 2024.

As noted in the previous article, Capitalising on the latest trends in cloud and edge computing, the ability for edge computing to reduce bandwidth bottlenecks and minimise latency to maximise efficiency and undertake real-time data and decision processing is a stepping stone towards advanced analytics and AI applications. That makes edge computing a key cornerstone in transformation projects.

As noted in a recent KPMG report, history has shown that companies that take a strategic future-focused investment approach during times of unrest were better placed when the global economy rebounded.

“IT leaders should continue transforming their operating models and investing in key enablers, like integrated cloud platforms, agile ways of working, intelligent automation, AI, blockchain, and advanced data and analytics.”

Zettagrid, in partnership with VMware, is enabling channel partners across Australia and Indonesia to deliver edge computing and transformation without having to construct and maintain their own infrastructure. This allows the partner to work on delivering the competitive differentiation and future readiness of transformation to their customers, without incurring the massive upfront costs and logistical challenges of building infrastructure.

VMware Cloud Director and its value to the channel

Core to the success of any edge computing application is the idea of fluidity – that local resources and compute power can seamlessly and instantly interact with cloud resources, regardless of location or the types of technology being used. VMware Cloud Director is a direct response to that technology need. It provides users with access to virtual datacentres, powered by a cloud network constructed of almost 1,000 providers. This solution delivers all the expected cloud capabilities – containers, security data protection, cloud migration and operations visibility – through a fluid, hybrid cloud fabric that seamlessly integrates between all on-premises infrastructure within the customer’s organisation, as well as the cloud.

New features to the most recent iteration of VMware Cloud Director – 10.1 – include:

  • App Launchpad, which allows organisations to access Bitnami secured and tested applications via a simple to consume interface.
  • Encryption and data security. Across a suite of security tools and processes, VMware Cloud Director provides protection not only for data at rest, but also data “in flight,” as it actively encrypts data as it is being processed, which is essential when data is being constantly moved between the edge and the cloud.

For the channel, this solution will form the bedrock of a transformation and edge computing project. The multi-tenancy approach means that the pool of resources can host and serve many customers, each in complete (and therefore secure) isolation. It’s also rapidly scalable and API-driven, meaning that the environment and usage can be tailored to the individual organisation’s needs.

Most importantly, it allows for seamless migration and the replication of on-premise infrastructure, allowing organisations to shift from traditional on-premises environments to a cloud hybrid environment effortlessly.

Addressing the challenges in transformation

What has complicated transformation projects for many channel organisations is the need to source the infrastructure necessary to deliver solutions. Needing to design and deliver datacentre solutions is a process that has excluded many channel partners from assisting their customers with their transformation exercises.

Additionally, in the current market, enterprises are risk adverse and budget constrained – they’re looking to their channel partners to provide the innovation and workstyles of a transformed business, but to also do so at predictable and reliable prices.

Partnering with Zettagrid gives channel organisations of all sizes and scales access to VMware Cloud Director and its expansive cloud infrastructure. Additionally, partners can access:

  • Local infrastructure and support, with Zettagrid covering the entire market.
  • A shift to automated billing and provisioning. While the channel partner exclusively maintains the relationship with the partner, Zettagrid’s billing system removes the administrative headache from their operations.
  • No need to maintain the environment. Zettagrid’s infrastructure provides class-leading reliability and uptime, but is maintained entirely by the Zettagrid engineers, saving the channel partner the need to resource datacentre management, upgrades, and maintenance.

The partner’s role through this disrupted and challenging time is in helping their customers to prepare for the other side and a “new normal”. This makes technology innovation and transformation a key priority. Those partners that are able to offer their customers this without taking on the risk of infrastructure investment themselves will be well placed to deliver successful projects in the current climate.

Benefits of Virtual Datacenter

The Benefits Of Virtual Datacenter

During this pandemic, cloud computing became a solution for enterprise in various industries. Besides efficient IT costs and capacity, the cloud also improves business operations even though it is run remotely. This happened without no reason of course, but cloud computing has an IT infrastructure that can support user success. One of them that is quite crucial in cloud infrastructure is a Virtual Datacenter (VDC).

A Virtual Data Center is a collection of cloud infrastructure resources that are used to store data and information securely. These resources can be contained in computation, memory, storage, and bandwidth. Beside that, this system also can support the infrastructure to be more complex with functions, operating systems, and virtual machine (VM) specifications as needed.

According to intervision.com, Virtual Datacenter is hosted on a public cloud and is based on VMware vCloud technology which provides full compatibility with any VMware environment. This solution is builts on open standards with OVF packaging for transport workload and interoperability with additional support for VMware vCloud API. Therefore, Virtual Datacenter resources can be made available for applications, business units, and projects as needed without having to worry about physical capacity.

Not only that, a Virtual Data Center also offers public and private catalogs of Virtual Machine (VM) templates. So, users can build new virtual machines quickly, or upload VMs that are already running in the user’s internal environment. Users can also enable to build virtual applications (vApps) on Virtual Datacenter. So, if you have an application that requires more than one VM also custom security and startup parameters, you could use vApps.

In Zettagrid Indonesia, Virtual Datacenter not only will enable you to control your own virtual server. But, it also will bring you some benefits. Let’s see the Benefits of Virtual Datacenter

  1. Replicating Data For Backup System

Losing all critical data in VM can be scary. But, if you decide to use Virtual Datacenter from Zettagrid, you don’t have to worry about it anymore. Because it will keep your VM safe by providing a secure cloud backup with a customizable schedule. By replicating your data from a Virtual Datacenter, it will allow you to roll back to the previous VM version.

  1. Intelligent Management

You can set various network settings (local network, NAT, Firewall, Load Balancer, VPN/Metro Ethernet and others). Beside that, you can collaborate your virtual machines into clusters (vApp) according to the purpose or function of your business applications (web servers, databases).

  1. IT Cost-Efficient

When you have more control over the cloud you use, you only have to pay for what you actually need. So, you can decide what scale you want to set up according to your organization’s demands for growth, without investing more on CapEx for hardware. That’s why it is affordable to use for enterprise in improving business continuity.

Zettagrid Indonesia Sponsori BMWCCI OMR Dan MOMRC di ISSOM 2020

ISSOM 2020

Team Zettagrid Indonesia di Ajang Balapan BMW One Make Race Round 1 ISSOM 2020

Sejak pandemic COVID 19 melanda, berbagai acara balap nyaris gagal karena terkendala oleh izin pemerintah. Salah satunya adalah kejuaraan balap touring Indonesia Sentul Series of Motorsport (ISSOM) 2020. Setelah berkali-kali mengalami revisi jadwal, ISSOM yang seharusnya digelar pada 12 Juli 2020 lalu akhirnya berhasil diadakan pada 29 dan 30 Agustus 2020 di Sirkuit Sentul, Bogor. Dengan ditetapkan sebanyak 6 seri, ajang balapan ini akan diberlangsungkan hingga awal tahun 2021.

ISSOM yang digelar pada tahun ini pun terasa lebih berbeda bagi para pegiat motorsport. Selain karena menerapkan aturan protokol COVID-19, acara balap ini juga tidak menyelenggarakan kelas kejuaraan nasional (kerjurnas). Adapun, beberapa kelas unggulan lainnya nyaris tidak terselenggara akibat banyaknya promotor yang tidak berani menggelar balapan.

Namun demikian, geliat motorsport tetap bergema karena beberapa promotor seperti BMWCCI One Make Race (BMWCCI OMR), Mercedes One Make Race Championship (MOMRC), Indonesia Retro Race, serta beberapa kelas yang dijalankan oleh Sentul ikut memeriahkan kontestasi. Sehingga, antusiasme peserta sama sekali tidak berkurang.

Zettagrid sebagai layanan cloud infrastructure lokal di Indonesia tidak hanya turut menjadi peserta dalam kompetisi ISSOM 2020. Namun juga, Zettagrid Indonesia turut sponsori BMWCCI OMR dan MOMRC dalam kontestasi tersebut. Berikut beberapa hal tentang kelas balap BMWCCI OMR dan MOMRC di ISSOM pada 30 Agustus 2020 lalu.

  1. BMWCCI One Make Race
Podium BMW OMR Round One ISSOM 2020

Tim Zettagrid Raih Podium Pertama di BMW One Make Race (OMR) 2020

BMWCCI One Make Race (OMR) merupakan salah satu kelas balapan yang cocok bagi pembalap pemula. Hal ini bisa dilihat dari visi BMWCCI yang bertujuan untuk mewadahi para anggota dengan memiliki minat terhadap motorsport. Untuk itu, Aditya Kurniawan selaku Ketua Pelaksana BMWCCI OMR berharap dapat mencetak bibit baru pembalap tidak hanya di tingkat nasional, melainkan juga pada tingkat internasional.

Pada kompetisi ISSOM 2020 lalu, BMWCCI OMR turut dimeriahkan oleh 9 peserta yang telah bertanding selama 10 putaran. Dari pertandingan tersebut bahkan memunculkan peserta baru, Viktor Herryanto, sebagai peraih podium juara pertama dalam kategori Rookie dan Reza Kertadjaja sebagai juara satu di kategori Advance. Tak hanya itu, selain turut dimeriahkan oleh 9 peserta lain dan didukung oleh Zettagrid Indonesia, BMWCCI OMR juga turut disponsori oleh Eneos dan Michellin.

  1. Mercedes One Make Race Championship

Selain untuk menyalurkan minat terhadap balapan, Mercedes One Make Race Championship (MOMRC) ini juga menjadi tempatnya para pecinta mobil brand Mercedes-Benz. Meski dikhususkan bagi para pengguna Mercedes-Benz, namun ajang yang telah bergulir sejak tahun 2009 ini terus memberi tontonan menarik bagi para pegiat motorsport.

Beberapa waktu lalu, MOMRC memeriahkan acara ISSOM 2020 dengan menghadirkan 10 peserta. Setelah melakukan 10 putaran, podium juara 1 pun turut diraih oleh Deo Popong. Tak hanya itu, kemeriahan kelas balap MOMRC pun turut disponsori tidak hanya oleh Zettagrid Indonesia, tetapi juga oleh GT Radial.

Tingkatkan Sistem IT Workload Bisnis Anda Dengan Cloud Provider

Sejak terjadinya pandemi COVID-19, berbagai industri dari sektor bisnis kini bertransformasi menjadi lebih digital. Hal ini dilakukan tentunya tidak hanya untuk mengikuti kebijakan social distancing, melainkan juga perilaku konsumen yang saat ini beralih secara daring. Untuk itu, akses internet saja tidak cukup dalam meningkatkan bisnis di masa pandemi ini. Sistem IT canggih lainnya juga diperlukan demi menunjang kebutuhan operasional bisnis, salah satunya adalah sistem cloud provider.

Selain menjadi solusi infrastruktur digital bagi perusahaan, sistem layanan cloud juga dapat membantu meningkatkan efisiensi bisnis dengan mengurangi investasi CAPEX dan OPEX. Tak hanya itu, deployment yang dapat dilakukan dalam beberapa jam saja, menjadikan cloud sebagai pilihan pengusaha untuk meningkatkan sistem IT workload bisnis anda di masa pandemi seperti sekarang.

Dalam talkshow bertajuk “Zettagrid e-CloudTalk vol. 04: Elevate Your IT Business Growth with Zettagrid” pada 26 Agustus 2020, Yohannes Saputra selaku IT Project and Development di Chemstation Asia (CSA), membagikan pengalaman perusahaannya saat menggunakan teknologi cloud infrastructure. Setelah melakukan beragam inovasi teknologi, CSA kini mempercayai sistem layanan cloud data center dari Zettagrid Indonesia untuk menopang sistem IT workload perusahaan.

Keputusan perusahaan tersebut pastinya terjadi bukan tanpa alasan. Mengingat sistem cabang perusahaan di 7 negara lainnya memiliki waktu yang berbeda, CSA membutuhkan sistem server yang dapat terus aktif demi meningkatkan operasional bisnisnya. Sehingga, sistem cloud dipercaya dapat menjadi solusi IT perusahaan tersebut.

Human error yang dapat terjadi sewaktu-waktu pun menjadi alasan berikutnya. Demi meminimalisir terjadinya risiko dari bencana, perusahaan yang bergerak di bidang distribusi kimia ini melihat perlunya sistem backup plan. Sehingga, jika terjadi gangguan seperti human error, sistem backup plan cloud dapat diaktifkan secara real time dan tidak mengganggu operasional lainnya.

Namun, mencari solusi operasional IT tidaklah cukup bagi bisnis yang sedang dijalankan. Bencana alam maupun serangan hacker tentunya dapat menimpa sistem IT workloads bisnis anda. Terutama bagi on-premise yang tidak memiliki standard data center seperti cloud provider.

Menurut Stephen Tukimin selaku VCPP Senior Solution Engineer di VMware, sistem layanan cloud tentunya memiliki standar yang dapat menjaga service level agreements (SLA). Standar tersebut bisa dilihat dari sisi infrastruktur, konektivitas jaringan, hingga keadaan daruratnya. Sehingga, kebijakan SLA yang jelas dapat menjadi jaminan bagi pengguna terkait keamanan data yang tersimpan pada sistem.
